4-5 Gray’s Inn Square stands out for its ‘strong offering’ in election law. The set houses a team of ‘specialist election counsel’ with particular strength in acting for returning officers and electoral administrators in cases regarding parliamentary, mayoral and local elections. Richard Price KC is a highly regarded election law expert, and the ‘knowledgeable’ Timothy Straker KC is often instructed by returning officers and the Electoral Commission. Election law specialist Vivienne Sedgley has a solid track record in assisting with political party disputes, election campaign expenditure matters and electoral registration issues, to name a few key areas of strength.
